Sports & Weekend Editor

Born in Salem, Mass. June, 5, 1975, I led an average childhood, growing up in Beverly, Mass., a suburb of Boston. In November of 1992, I moved with my family to Peachtree City and attended McIntosh High School for the final six months of my high school career.

I then attended the University of Georgia and majored in journalism.

During my time at the school, I formed a sketch comedy troupe, which performed in Athens for several years. The troupe also performed and produced a comedic radio program which placed third in the nation in the College Broadcast Awards.

I graduated from UGA in 1997 and continued writing and performing comedy. In 1998, I moved back to Fayette County and became the sports editor for The Citizen Newspapers. Since returning to the Southern Crescent, I have also become the weekend editor of the paper. I'm stlil writing and performing comedy, recently forming a troupe made up of local high school students. I am currently involved with several theater groups in the community and am throwing my support to the creation of a community theater building.

In my spare time, I lounge around my home in Jonesboro with my wife, Sabine, and our three cats. I enjoy watching Conan O'Brien Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Atlanta Braves and Georgia Bulldogs games and, naturally, The Simpsons. I continue to write sketch comedy and plays and still hope for a shot at writing for Saturday Night Live.
